Congress and Fast Track

We are tracking how members of Congress plan to vote on Fast Track (also called Trade Promotion Authority), which would allow the President to sign trade agreements into law without full hearings and amendments in Congress. This is how NAFTA and the WTO were passed in the 1990s and few members of Congress understood the harmful impact those trade deals would have. Look below to see whether your member plans to uphold Congress’ responsibility to oversee commerce by voting no on Fast Track, or whether they will allow the corporations to write the agreement without Congress by voting yes. And don’t forget to join a Fair Trade Brigade to convince enough members of Congress to vote no. We need 218 total.
